SAVAGEARS Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: May 7, 2026 Last Updated: May 7, 2026

1. Introduction

These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) govern your participation in the SAVAGEARS Affiliate Program (the “Program”) operated by SAVAGEARS (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at 304 S. Jones Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89107, United States. By submitting an application or promoting our products, you (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by this Agreement.

If you do not agree to these terms, do not participate in the Program.

2. Definitions

• Affiliate Link: A unique tracking URL provided to the Affiliate by SAVAGEARS or through a designated affiliate platform, used to track referred traffic and sales.
• Cookie Duration: The 30 day window during which a referred customer’s purchase is attributed to the Affiliate.
• Qualified Sale: A sale of a SAVAGEARS product made by a customer referred via the Affiliate Link, where the customer received the product and did not request a refund within the refund window.
• Hold Period: The 30 day period from the date of sale during which the commission remains in “Pending” status before being approved for payout.
• Net Sales: Total customer payments collected, excluding taxes, shipping fees, refunds, chargebacks, and order cancellations.

3. Eligibility and Application

3.1 To participate in the Program, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).
• Submit a complete and accurate application.
• Operate a website, social media presence, email list, or other promotional channel that complies with this Agreement.
• Not be located in a jurisdiction prohibited by U.S. trade laws.

3.2 SAVAGEARS reserves the sole right to accept or reject any application without explanation. Acceptance is not guaranteed.

3.3 Affiliates must keep their account information accurate and current at all times.

4. Commission Structure

4.1 Tiered Monthly Commission Rates. Commission rates are calculated based on the Affiliate’s total Net Sales per calendar month, and reset to zero at the start of each new month.

Monthly Net Sales (USD)	Commission Rate
$0 to $10,000.00	5%
$10,000.01 to $20,000.00	7%
$20,000.01 and above	10%

4.2 Retroactive Application. When an Affiliate crosses a tier threshold within a given month, the higher commission rate applies retroactively to all qualifying sales within that month, including those made before the threshold was reached.

Example: If an Affiliate generates $15,000 in Net Sales in a single calendar month, the entire $15,000 is paid at 7% (= $1,050), not 5% on the first $10,000 plus 7% on the remaining $5,000.

4.3 Currency. All commissions are calculated and paid in U.S. Dollars (USD).

4.4 SAVAGEARS reserves the right to modify commission rates with 30 days’ written notice. Existing pending commissions will not be affected by rate changes.

4.5 Product Specific Commission Rates. SAVAGEARS reserves the right to introduce new product categories, product lines, or specific SKUs with commission rates that differ from the standard tier structure described in Section 4.1. Such product specific rates may be higher or lower than the standard rates and will be communicated to active Affiliates in advance through the affiliate dashboard or by email. Product specific rates apply only to the products they cover, and sales of those products may be tracked and counted separately from sales applied to the standard tier thresholds in Section 4.1.

5. Tracking and Attribution

5.1 Cookie Duration. Sales are attributed to an Affiliate when a customer completes a purchase within 30 days of clicking the Affiliate Link, provided the customer does not click another affiliate’s link in the interim.

5.2 Attribution Model. SAVAGEARS uses a last click attribution model. The most recent affiliate link clicked before the purchase receives credit for the sale.

5.3 Tracking Integrity. Affiliates must use only the original tracking links provided through the official affiliate network. Modifying, masking, redirecting, or otherwise tampering with tracking parameters will result in commission forfeiture and may lead to immediate termination.

5.4 SAVAGEARS is not responsible for tracking failures caused by the customer’s browser settings, ad blockers, or any third party software outside the Company’s control.

6. Payment Terms

6.1 Hold Period. Commissions enter “Pending” status at the time of sale and become “Approved” after a 30 day Hold Period, which accounts for product shipping, the 14 day customer refund window, and order processing.

6.2 Refunds and Chargebacks. If the customer requests a refund, initiates a chargeback, or cancels the order during the Hold Period, the corresponding commission will be voided and removed from the Affiliate’s balance. Commissions are paid only on Qualified Sales, meaning sales where the customer received the product and did not request a refund.

6.3 Payment Schedule. Approved commissions are paid out at the end of each calendar month (the “Payment Date”). Commissions approved after the cutoff for a given Payment Date will be processed in the following monthly cycle.

6.4 Minimum Payout Threshold. The minimum payout is $100 USD. Balances below this amount will roll over to the following month until the threshold is met.

6.5 Payment Methods. SAVAGEARS pays commissions via:

• Bank Wire Transfer
• PayPal

The Affiliate is responsible for any transaction fees imposed by their bank or PayPal. Affiliates must provide accurate and complete payment details. SAVAGEARS is not liable for delays or losses caused by incorrect payment information supplied by the Affiliate.

6.6 Taxes. The Affiliate is solely responsible for declaring and paying all applicable taxes on commissions earned. U.S. based Affiliates may be required to submit a Form W-9; non U.S. Affiliates may be required to submit a Form W-8BEN or equivalent documentation.

6.7 Reversal of Approved Commissions. SAVAGEARS reserves the right to reverse already approved commissions in cases of confirmed fraud, chargebacks received after approval, or violations of this Agreement.

6.8 Suspicious Traffic and Commission Voiding. SAVAGEARS reserves the sole right to investigate, withhold, void, reverse, or claw back any commissions on traffic or transactions it deems suspicious, fraudulent, of low quality, or otherwise in violation of this Agreement. Indicators of suspicious activity include, but are not limited to: abnormal click to conversion ratios, traffic originating from known bot networks, proxies, VPN farms, or data centers, repeated refund or chargeback patterns tied to a single Affiliate, conversions completed within unusually short time frames after the click, sales attributed through prohibited promotional methods, conversions where the buyer’s identity or payment behavior raises concerns of fraud, duplicate IP or device fingerprints across multiple conversions, and any other activity that suggests artificial inflation of commissions. Affiliates flagged for suspicious activity may be placed under manual review, with payouts delayed or held pending the outcome of the investigation. Where SAVAGEARS reasonably concludes that suspicious activity has occurred, all related commissions may be voided in full, with no obligation to provide compensation. SAVAGEARS’ determination on these matters is final.

7. Prohibited Promotional Methods

The following promotional methods are strictly prohibited. Use of any prohibited method will result in commission forfeiture, account termination, and may expose the Affiliate to legal action.

7.1 Popunder, Clickunder, and Pop up Traffic. Any traffic generated through popunder, clickunder, or auto loading pop up advertisements is strictly forbidden.

7.2 Cookie Stuffing. Setting affiliate tracking cookies on a user’s browser without a deliberate click on the Affiliate Link is prohibited and may constitute fraud.

7.3 Brand Bidding. Affiliates may not bid on, purchase, or use the keywords “SAVAGEARS,” “Savage Ears,” any misspellings or variations thereof, or the SAVAGEARS domain name in any paid search advertising platform (Google Ads, Bing Ads, Meta, TikTok, etc.). This includes broad match, phrase match, exact match, and display URLs.

7.4 Direct Linking from Paid Search. Affiliates may not direct paid search traffic directly to SAVAGEARS owned web properties.

7.5 Spam. Unsolicited email, SMS, push notifications, social media DMs, forum posts, comment spam, or any other unauthorized mass messaging is prohibited. This includes any communication that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, GDPR, or any applicable anti spam law.

7.6 Unauthorized Coupons and Discounts. Affiliates may only promote discount codes that have been officially issued and authorized by SAVAGEARS for affiliate distribution. Creating, posting, or distributing unauthorized coupons, fake discounts, or “free shipping” claims is prohibited.

7.7 Trademark Infringement. Affiliates may not register domain names, social media handles, or app names containing the SAVAGEARS trademark or any confusingly similar variation.

7.8 Misleading Advertising. Affiliates may not make false health claims, fabricated testimonials, fabricated celebrity endorsements, deceptive “before and after” imagery, or any claim not explicitly supported by SAVAGEARS’ official marketing materials.

7.9 Spyware, Adware, Toolbars, and Browser Extensions. Promotion through spyware, adware, parasiteware, browser hijackers, or unauthorized browser extensions is prohibited.

7.10 Bot Traffic and Click Fraud. Any use of automated scripts, bots, click farms, paid to click services, or artificially generated traffic is prohibited.

7.11 Self Referrals. Affiliates may not earn commissions on purchases made through their own Affiliate Link, whether for themselves, their family, employees, or any related party.

7.12 Incentivized Traffic. Cashback sites, paid to click (PTC) sites, loyalty rewards, or any model that compensates the end user for clicking or purchasing is prohibited unless explicitly approved in writing by SAVAGEARS.
